Darnit, this link for you to buy cakewalk keyboard is not working so i can’t write about it.

I accidentally found this song and instantly fell in love with it! Only Japan can pull off combining kawaii Jpop, kids and heavy metal into one. They’re called BABYMETAL. I’m so so so so so in love with this song, even though it actually means they want chocolate! Haha. Video and lyrics under the cut. Click more to continue!

Street Neko (http://www.street-neko.com) will focus on clothing, and might add any interesting and kawaii things in the future. It’s selling trendy clothes that you see mainly from Japan and Korea. I’m starting out small but I will expand soon. It took me a week+ to build this online store because I kept changing the cart system. I didn’t find the ones that I like, and ones that I like is in chinese language. This plan for this shop has been thought of for half a year already but just never had the chance to really execute it. I wanted to start with a simple blogshop only but yeah, decided to go more organized.

I don’t know how long this website can last, or this business, but I know I’m trying my very best right now. So if you love trendy Korean and Japanese fashion trend & kawaii things, do visit the website!

Now that’s done, I need to focus on other things now. I’ve been too busy for my own good. Bleh.

My package from AmiAmiarrived on Tuesday! So I’m gonna blog about it. Before I ordered from AmiAmi, I was skeptical about the service, especially EMS shipping, and I tried googling but I could not find any blog posts that reviews the details of the package arrival from AmiAmi. I did find one but it was a bad blog post about the package being sent to a different person. -_____- So I hope this can be a guide or information to those first timers who are wondering about AmiAmi or EMS Japan Post.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I had a bad experience with EMS when my package arrived all torn, and squished. I was wrong. Turns out that was CHINA POST EMS and AmiAmi uses JAPAN POST EMS (duh, they’re in Japan). Clearly Japan post is much better. More details below.

After you order and pay up to AmiAmi and selected EMS shipping, you can track your parcel from Japan Post website. It was a bit confusing however on that inward and outward office of exchange thing. I’ve only used DHL for express shipping when I ordered stuff from Amazon and DHL tracking system is easier to understand (and much more detailed & instantly updated) as mentioned in my old posts from NOVEMBER 2006 and DECEMBER 2006.. while EMS updates a little bit while later. I didn’t even know that my package was out for delivery until a day later, lol.

Once it reaches Malaysia, it’ll be handled by our local domestic express post, Pos Laju. So the difference is now you can track using Japan Post AND Pos Laju. Again, everything was updated a bit later… but it does mention the item is being delivered and who received it. The guy called my phone, so I told him my mom would go out to pick it up (since I just got up) so he didn’t need any signature from my mom. Hehe, they wrote my name as Liana 😛 For a minute I was like OMG WHO THE FUCK IS LIANA?! And then I realized that’s part of my middle name -____- Blonde moment. I’m just not used to it cuz in my whole life, that was the first time somebody used half of my middle name instead of my first name.

All photos were taken using my BB Storm 2 without sufficient lighting, hence why they’re blurry.

My package arrived in about 4 days. It was shipped on Friday evening (received the notice at about 6 pm-ish) and received it at 10.30 am on Tuesday so roughly 4 days. Not bad.

The plastic was a BITCH to tear! Seriously. Not even with knife! It was way too thick. And the glue was so strong that I had a hard time ripping it off to open the box. But I’m glad the box arrived perfectly. Well a bit dented aｔ the corners but that’s normal. Glad they listened to me and taped the ‘FRAGILE‘ notice at the side.

And glad the customs didn’t try to open the box.

Of course, the first ‘person’ to be extremely hyper and excited would be my kitty, Jojo aka Nana. She can NEVER see a box/parcel. She always get to excited. If you look at my NOVEMBER 2006 & DECEMBER 2006 posts, you can also see how excited Jojo was. She’s my little helper.

After I managed to open the box, she quickly got inside the box trying to tear/take out the papers inside. She was really working as hard as she could to tear it.

And I mean REALLY trying hard to take the papers out. AmiAmi didn’t have any air bag thing on top of my stuff, they just have lots of layers of papers. I’m okay with that since the box is thick and sturdy enough.

Jojo didn’t manage to take out about 5-10 layers of papers, and she got exhausted. So she gave up and got frustrated. She’s now thinking what other ways could she do to rip it all out. So I took her out and took the papers out myself. So much for my little helper.

Tada! I’m happy to see my stuff in good condition. The DS game box is in those protective bubble that you can pop 😀 My Rinko case has no bubble protection but I’m surprised at how thick the box is.

And Jojo goes “My job here is done!“… yeah right, as if she was any help, hehe.

Ahh.. my own virtual girlfriend simulation 😀 I have just thrown myself to the loserville to join with those ‘ronery’ (lonely) otaku/old men/women with their virtual gf. Hehe. It’s SO MUCH better now because the game doesn’t keep refreshing itself, and I don’t keep getting the annoying ‘save your game‘ message everytime I do an activity. Being ‘JACK SPARROW‘ sucks but can’t help it. I’m a poor person.

Like I said, I’m surprised the box is very thick. The images look nice 😀 The papers feel smooth and silky, not a regular thin paper. It’s a HORI product, so you can expect quality. If it wasn’t for the 60% off, I wouldn’t get this casing. Too expensive.

あぁぁぁぁ｡｡｡ 小早川凛子。。。リンコーチャン！私の恋人です～！あっ！違う！違う！私の友達です。

I’m happy that the protective case is not as thin as my old cheap case that I bought for my DS Lite. But changing the picture is a bitch. I’m scared of breaking any small part or hinges since my fingers are prone to do so, so having a hard time opening the case and changing the photo. But I’m changing them once a month anyway.

Ok I’m done. My back hurts now from sitting for too long writing this. I wish I have my own spa to relax in. At least a bathtub with candles around, and aromatherapy oils.. having bubble bath in a jacuzzi just to relax my muscles.. *sighs*
